Abstract :
An 81-year-old male with a recently diagnosed gastric neuroendocrine tumour was admitted to the Nuclear Medicine Department. A fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography – computed tomography (PET/CT) study was requested for initial staging purposes. Oral contrast-enhanced axial PET/CT slices (Figure 1) at the level of the stomach demonstrated diffuse mild gastric hypermetabolism. There was no other pathological finding in the rest of the body.
